Chapter 497 - 497 The Little Schemes at Wine Party 3

Chapter 497: The Little Schemes at Wine Party 3 Chapter 497: The Little Schemes at Wine Party 3 It’s such a dance where partners could be swapped when the music changes to a slow rhythm, a popular trend at the wine party this year.

When the music changes, no one knows who their next partner would be.

This time, when the music switched, Arnold Johnson became the dance partner of another woman, while Victoria too became the partner of a strange man.

It was merely a polite dance, Victoria Garcia did not bother sizing him up but politely flashed a smile.

However, the man had an impressive appearance.

But all of these had no effect on Victoria as she had no habit of fawning over good-looking men.

“Hello, my name is Edward Hernandez.” The man who started the conversation had a pleasant voice.

Victoria responded politely, “Hello, I’m Victoria Garcia.”

“I know you,” Edward Hernandez replied immediately.

Victoria chuckled and replied, “There’s nothing odd about that since there’s a lot of news about me these days.”

“Miss Garcia is really smart. As soon as I began talking, you knew how I knew you.”

“It’s not that I’m smart, it’s that I’ve never interacted with Mr. Hernandez.” To Victoria, the reason strangers knew her was primarily due to her status as Arnold Johnson’s fiancée—a news so widespread that even the onlookers of Authority Country couldn’t ignore her.

“I think you’re not just beautiful, but also smart,” Hernandez said with a slight smile, maintaining his elegant dance steps, “And I must admit, Miss Garcia, you are quite charming.”

“Thank you, but I’d be happier if you referred to me as an already spoken for, charming woman,” Victoria indicated that she was off the market to all the flirtatious advances.

“It seems Mr. Johnson really cherishes Miss Garcia. It’s quite enviable.” Even though Hernandez was joking, his comment didn’t leave a bad impression.

One has to admit, Hernandez’s attitude and control of the conversation were moderate and appropriate.

Victoria simply smiled and didn’t respond anymore.

Some words, when spoken too much, seem pretentious, but if not spoken, she would feel weary of handling the situation.

Being a woman, Victoria sensed Hernandez’s intentions. Her deliberate use of certain words had her own motives.

Johnson’s gaze would unintentionally drift towards Victoria and Hernandez, thankful that Hernandez didn’t make any inappropriate moves.

However, watching her dance with another man made him feel uncomfortable, especially today, as Victoria was wearing a backless dress. Looking back, he regretted arranging such a provocative outfit for her.

Hernandez led her in a round of dance steps while holding her hand and then once again wrapped her waist, of course, without any unnecessary movements.

“I’ve seen many women wearing red dresses that are attractive, but only you have left me amazed.”

“In the future, you will meet someone who amazes you even more.”

“Really? You’re so sure!”

“Because there are a lot of women out there who are prettier and more charming than me.” Victoria replied nonchalantly.

Yet Hernandez continued, “But there is only one Miss Garcia.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the slow music changed to a fast rhythm, Victoria immediately moved away. It was better to stay away from men like Hernandez. She didn’t have an interest in such mind games regardless of how handsome they were. She found it tiring to deal with anyone besides Arnold Johnson.
